Figured id start a new thread for the inevitable and apparently impending announcement. 

 

Armia probably get just under 1m, 2 way - short term.

I like Armia.  I like him even more now that we have another Finn on the team.  Like a lot of these young players he just needed some confidence, after it was destroyed by those bozos in Buffalo.  I really liked that Petan/Copp/Armia line.  I know I sound like a broken record, but give Armia some players to play with and he'll be good.

Bozo's everywhere. Remember Noel ripping into Scheif his first year like he had knocked Slap Slot.

 

 

I remember Armia making a good play in about his 3rd game or so and Maurice walking up and bending over his shoulder and saying something to him. When Maurice was walking away, Armia had a mile wide smile and was saying "wow".

Don't see how you justify paying Armia less than Thorburn... way higher ceiling - I would try a two year bridge at $1.5m

Lowry same thing, his first year fancy stats are great - guy deserves more than Burmistrov... two years at $1.8 and hope it was sophomore slump

10 career nhl points does not get him anywhere close to 1.5 

Ya he's got potential but he hasn't reached it yet. 1 year 850 000.

Was it this one?

2 years 925k two way deal for Armia.  4 years 2 mil for Lowry.  2 years 5.2 mil for Trouba.

it might have been that one but I am not even sure if it were a goal or even an offensive play...all I remember was Armia made a nice play and Maurice complimented him on it....apparently.

and if he won't take it, off to Edmonton with Stafford and Burmi for Pool Party and a pick

D men who play D very good are good to have. Enstrom is that guy. I will say I'd move him in a heartbeat tho because his age doesn't fit. Plus then you could protect buff trouba myers. Younger players.  Toby is a legit #2 d man on most teams and a #1 on some. He's good. He's just not part of the future.  Some people just see his height tho.

I wouldn't mind re-signing Enstrom for two years at 3.25 when his current deal is up. Hear that, KBF?

So you don't think Morrissey, Trouba or Stanley are going to develop on the left side?

Enstrom has no place in the West...  he was good in the East, that's how he got this horrible contract.

And weren't you just arguing against signing 33 yr old Hamhuis to two years at 3.25...?  

Stanley is at least 3 years away from being a 3LHD... Morrissey might make the team this year....who else do we have?

Kostalek, Chiarot, Stu, and RHD Trouba....Rather see Enstrom and Stanley and Morrissey as our LHD.

Or just sign someone better than Enstrom for $3 mill a year... or trade for one.

I honestly can't think of any team in the league where Enstrom is their #1 pairing... and he's getting paid the same as Seabrook.

I hear it and I really want some of whatever you are smoking.

Emstrom is here till Morrisey is ready to take over. The natural progression is in place... Just a matter of time. 

Really hope Chiarot bounces back.  If he can, then it helps a lot

Too bad the Dman with the hardest shot is not more offensively gifted.

Get Chiarot away from Stuart... he'll bounce back.

In fact, get everyone away from Stuart.

Enstrom is gone either this season or next. His contract is up next year. I doubt they sign him to a new deal 

Enstrom for Doughty...
